I had a 1973 Vega with an aluminum block 215 out of a 1963 Buick Special I believe!

That looks very well done and is easily worth the asking price IMO.

That is well done, for sure.  And that Buick/Rover V8 should make it scoot.

I always liked that engine.  Or, at least the idea thereof as I've never had one.

I've earned a LOT of money fixing them for people who made that mistake.

The mistake of owning one?

Bingo!  BMW made several improvements when they owned Land Rover including upsizing it to 4.6L (from the original 3.9L), but it's still a PITA engine.  The Ford 4.6L is a little bulkier, but much more reliable, powerful, & torquier.
